Utilitarian
No surprise on a military base but felt like a campground equivalent of base housing. Tight spots with full hook ups. Lots of snow birds, so getting in was a challenge. We had to show up without a reservation and take advantage of first come, first serve spots.
Full hook up (electric/water/sewer) and cable. No wifi (so weak it didn't work) and cell coverage almost non-existent (AT&T).
Close to a small beach and marina with a restaurant walking distance. Several dog parks but muddy/dirt. Laundry available for fee. Bath houses clean and large.
Good amenities on base. Gym not too far and massive.
Make sure you arrive at the base through the gate at the end of Dale Mabry, as it's the only gate campers can come thru. And be sure to go to the far right lane, even if it's got a red X showing the lane is closed. They will open the wider lane for you. You don't want to know why I know that or how close our Airstream was to the guard shacks if you don't go in the far lane!

Best. Camping. App.
Wouldn’t of found the spot without the app!!!!
Great Year-Round Campground
The winter season is October-April and the campground gets extremely full, going over capacity from December to February or March. Overall, an extremely large campground in two parts: main side and the annex. The annex has more space between spots, but no amenities (laundry, etc.); you have to drive to the main side for those. Not a big deal.
For long-terming, you're responsible for your yard. The FamCamp officer loans them out from the office. A pain for the annex, but still free.
Very conveniently located to the golf course and the various headquarters/units on MacDill AFB. Not as conveniently located to the rest of Tampa as it takes 12-15 minutes just to get off post from the campground.
The staff is nice when treated with respect. Have heard stories of the staff being mean or finicky, but the blame usually sounded on both parties.
Location
MacDill AFB FamCamp is located in Florida
Directions
Due to very limited times that RV's are allowed to enter the main gate (Dale Mabry gate), it's suggested to enter the Tanker Gate Way instead (closed after 1500 and closed on Sat & Sun). From I-275 (westbound), take exit 41A. Follow Dale Mabry Highway south for 6.3 miles to main gate of MacDill AFB. When approaching MacDill on Dale Mabry, take a right on Interbay and go to Tanker Way. Take a left and go through the inspection area. The guards there will direct you to the FAMCAMP. Turn around in the Marina Office parking area or park in the large lot at this left turn and walk to the office to register. If office is closed park in the corner lot and dry camp overnight. Do not occupy a camp site before registering. ---- Note: RVs cannot ENTER
